Turkey, recalling its ambassador to Canada after Canadian Prime
Minister Stephen Harper used the word “genocide” in a statement he
made on April 24, the date Armenians remember the events of 1915,
also withdrew from international military maneuvers in this country.
Turkey Embassy officials announced aircraft and support craft of the
Turkish Air Forces that were earlier confirmed to take part in the
international maneuvers at Canada’s Cold Late Bay in the province of
Alberta on May 17-June 24, withdrew from the maneuvers.
Canada Defense Ministry spokesman Gordon O’Connor confirmed Turkey
withdrew from the military maneuvers on Friday.
